17
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend. Spend some time reflecting

18
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 1: on why we have this weekend. Remember, some gave all

19
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 1: and it's just one of those things to think about

20
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 1: as we enjoy the last few days and why we

21
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 1: can and uh, you know, I want to say this

22
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 1: because you know the open the Knicks and everything. I

23
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 1: want to say, how am I after yesterday? I'm gonna

24
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 1: surprise you. I'm good. I'm good because what the Knicks

25
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,759
Speaker 1: did was they bought a day. They bought a day,

26
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: they bought a game. Right, they didn't do it. They

27
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 1: bought a game. The series could have ended and instead, okay,

28
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: we bought a game. Now they gotta go get game

29
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: four because down three to one, you see what happens

30
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:34,680
Speaker 1: down three to one coming back from them. Oh, it's fine,

31
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: but they bought, they bought a day, they bought a game.

32
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: And I'm happy, but I'm not sitting here with choke

33
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: gestures with the Pacers blowing at twenty point. I will

34
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: save that if we win the series. But I'm not.

35
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,320
Speaker 1: It's they bought a game. They bought a game, they

36
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 1: bought a day. It's okay, great, you you found a

37
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: way back in a game that made absolutely no sense.

38
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: It made no sense. The Knicks won this game. Karl

39
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: Anthony Towns has four points through three quarters and then

40
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: he just hits for twenty in the fourth. Like Brunson

41
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: doesn't have a big How did they win it? This game?

42
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 1: This series makes absolutely no sense. So okay, but that's

43
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: I'm okay, I'm not insane. I mean, that was insane

44
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 1: Jason Nicks fan. But but now I'm like, okay, you

45
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 1: know what, we're right on the edge right now. Things

46
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: things aren't going as we thought. But that's basically what

47
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: the Knicks did. They bought a game, and now it's

48
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:22,920
Speaker 1: all about game four because really you could say, well,

49
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: they won the one. Yeah, they could go home. No,

50
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:26,639
Speaker 1: you don't go home to win three game. You don't

51
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: go home and then leave it and come back. Oh yeah,

52
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: we'll just hit fast forward on the button to win

53
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: three games. Doesn't happen that way, doesn't it? How you

54
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: go back?

55
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 3: Game one obviously one that was so.

56
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 1: Soul ripping, we don't need to talk about it anymore,

57
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 1: all of that, but talk about it.

58
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 3: No Game two, close game you talk about that end

59
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 3: psychologically jarring. At times, Karl Anthony Towns was either wearing

60
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 3: a cloak of invisibility or he was John Cena and

61
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 3: you didn't see it. Game three, for a good chunk

62
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 3: of that, he didn't. We saw Shamitt check in and

63
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 3: a lot of folks looking at around, going okay, Tibbs

64
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 3: has truly lost his mind. Now the synapses aren't firing,

65
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 3: and we got some craziness because now the guys are

66
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,119
Speaker 3: getting extra minutes. Well you get eleven from him, thirteen

67
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 3: from right. Josh Hart, who more or less benched himself

68
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 3: in all of his comments. Between Game two and Game three,

69
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,359
Speaker 3: he comes through with some of the biggest rebounds where

70
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:27,359
Speaker 3: suddenly he's playing like he's eight feet tall on stilts. Yeah,

71
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 3: I rebound after rebound and big play. And for Karl

72
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 3: Anthony Town it's like someone activated. You hit the switch

73
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 3: on the back. Just be good, Like, how did you

74
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 3: get it's bad? You know, kind of a thing. I

75
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 3: don't know.

76
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: I got four points in the first three quart and

77
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: all of a sudden taking the heat check threes in

78
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. I'm saying, how the hell did this?

79
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 3: There's like nine memes of him that came out of

80
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 3: that fourth quarter, some of the passes, some of the Hey,

81
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 3: look at the words that he's mouthing here as he's

82
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 3: running up and down the court. He got called for

83
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 3: that insane travel And I don't know that I've ever

84
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 3: agreed with an announcer more than listening to Stanban Gunny

85
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 3: just incredilously going. So that was called here why yeah,

86
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 3: like on several foul calls, like yep, I'm with you here, Stan,

87
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 3: but all, don't try to break.

88
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: This series down because it doesn't make any It doesn't

89
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 1: it make sense.

90
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 3: Kalen Brunson sitting on the bench and suddenly there's some

91
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,840
Speaker 3: activity and the Knicks are playing better. Basketball comes back in,

92
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 3: helps to finish things off. Six of eighteen from the field.

93
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 3: They're gonna need a better version of him, and he

94
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 3: and Kat are gonna have to figure out what their

95
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 3: problems are. But you bought a day. You bought a

96
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 3: couple of days. And look, the first two games, as

97
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 3: much as they may have been jarring, were close games. Right,

98
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 3: gave one away? Okay, fine, you rally, you took one back.

99
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 1: What was it The New York Posts back page was

100
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 1: chokes on them. It's pretty good.

101
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 3: I mean that's pretty clever. I like that with a

102
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 3: giant picture of cat screaming and losing his mind, which

103
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 3: is great. But now we get back for game four

104
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 3: and let's see what other magic tips can find in

105
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 3: terms of lineup switches and juice that you can get.

106
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 3: McBride gave them a couple of big shots. He also

107
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 3: tried to shoot them out of the game a couple

108
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:14,919
Speaker 3: of times.

109
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: You don't try to make the day. It makes no sense,

110
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 1: It makes absolutely no shallow May showed up, shout him May,

111
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: shouta May, But you got Frostburg. I totally that went

112
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:25,359
Speaker 1: in a different direction than I thought it would be.

113
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 1: What what direction you think it was? Your whole take

114
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: on the Yeah, I tell you they bought. They bought

115
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 1: two days.

116
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 3: I thought you were gonna go with you were talking

117
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 3: about things that were numbered.

118
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 1: I thought you were gonna go with, I'm enjoying my

119
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: knicks are numbers. Well, yeah, we gotta win three more

120
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: games here and then four more in the finals. Not

121
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 1: it's I I can't think too much that they bought

122
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 1: two days. It's what they did. They bought two days

123
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: and now. But if they lose game four, that's it.

124
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 1: You're gonna go back home and win where you've already

125
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 1: lost twice. Then you need to come back to Indiana

126
00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 1: and win, and then I mean, I know, Caitlin Clark's

127
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 1: not playing, but then you're gonna go back in Madison

128
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: Square Garden. Yeah, I know, I know, but it's yeah, well, clearly,

129
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: clearly the big panic move by the Pacers bringing Pops

130
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,599
Speaker 1: Haliburton back, which we'll get to. But no, really, I

131
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 1: mean they bought a couple. I'm not lying as I'm

132
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: not gonna sudden turn the mic off and go yeah

133
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 1: like you. But no, they they they bought two days

134
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: that's what. No.

135
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:23,159
Speaker 3: But I mean we go back to the end of

136
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,280
Speaker 3: last week. For those joining us for the first time,

137

Speaker 3: uh and ever growing entity that we are globally uh

140
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 3: normally riding the lightning and the open would suggest as such,

141
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 3: you've been fairly measured. I mean, a little sky is

142
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 3: falling towards the end of last week. But oh the

143
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 3: sky had fallen after game, but it had already fallen down.

144
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 3: It had fallen down and crashed, and we were picking

145
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 3: up the on Friday, it became me, well, if they

146
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 3: get a game, but you were looking forward to getting swept.

Speaker 3: What kind of package can we put together for Yannis?

152
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 3: All of these things okay by that kid? So I

Speaker 1: throwing a throwing a couple.

157
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 3: But I would say this right, we're watching game four

158
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 3: now of this Western Conference Finals, and in game three

159
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 3: e that series, suddenly he had a re emergence of

160
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 3: Julius Randam. Remember he did a disappearing act in game two. Uh,

161
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,239
Speaker 3: in this series he came back just fine. So Cat

162
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 3: did the same in the fourth quarter. Now put on

163
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 3: a cape and wrote it out to a victory.

164
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: It's funny you say we'll have more on this series.

165
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: And yes, the return of John Halliburton coming for game four.

166
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 3: I'm in a glass case of emotion.

167
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: But where we sit right now, Thunder lead the t

168
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 1: Wolves early in the third quarter, sixty eight sixty four.

169
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 1: Teal's get a couple of buckets out of the break

170
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 1: and again on display is exactly why I picked the

171
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 1: Thunder to win this like I picked the Thunder from

172
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: the beginning of the playoffs, you had the Wolves. You

173
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: and I are opposite sides of this, But what have

174
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 1: I said from the beginning? I have more confidence that

175
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: SGA is going to be consistently great over the course

176
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 1: of this series than I am Anthony Edwards, because ant

177
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 1: Edwards still gives you games where you're saying, where the

178
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 1: hell is he? Right? Game one was a no show

179
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: right then suddenly okay, picked up a little bit in

180
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: game two, Game three, Your blog great, But I told

181
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 1: you there's a couple of times a series where Aunt

182
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,559
Speaker 1: Edwards doesn't show up, and you can't do that again.

183
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 1: You can do that when you're playing teams that you

184
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 1: have an advantage against that are playing well, but a

185
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 1: team like Oklahoma City, you can't have your best player

186
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 1: not show up for two of the six or whatever

187
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 1: it's going to be. And tonight, An Edwards in the

188
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 1: first half took two shots. Man two shots and Edwards

189
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: two shots, four points in the first half of this game. Okay,

190
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 1: there is no world in which it and Edward the

191
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 1: next Michael Jordan, the next Lebron James, the next Criptra.

192
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 1: There's no world in which which he takes two shots

193
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,719
Speaker 1: in the first half. What are you doing? Really? I mean,

194
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: you're lucky you're still in the game. And luckily they

195
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 1: were because hey, McDaniel's had a big first half and

196
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: that was good. And he had points off the bench, now, Alexander,

197
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 1: so that's good, right, yeah, And Devincenzo's got a three.

198
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 1: You know, you're hitting some threes off the bench. Is

199
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 1: what's keeping you in this game? Oh, if you didn't

200
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 1: keep turning the.

201
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 3: Dam ball over too, I meant a number of mindless

202
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 3: turnovers and sequences. They had twelve in the first half,

203
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 3: don't I.

204
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 1: Don't know how. I don't know how the next great

205
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 1: player that and Edwards and it's this second game where

206
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 1: he's had a big no show the entire game one

207
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 1: and now the first half of game two. He does

208
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 1: have a bucket early in the second half, but he's

209
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,199
Speaker 1: taken three shots right now that he's take Hey, take

210
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 1: eight shots in the first four minutes. But this is

211
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 1: where I mean, really, how do you have to take

212
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 1: three shots in the first half. The face of the

213
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: league doesn't take two shots in the first half of

214
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 1: the playoff thing?

215
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 3: Right, It's like I understand the old let the game

216
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 3: come to you to a degree. You're in the Western

217
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 3: Conference finals, and I can also understan, Hey, you've got

218
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 3: a bunch of all NBA defensive players in that Oklahoma

219
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,439
Speaker 3: City lineup right. We talked a lot about Dort who's

220
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 3: getting the tuna run right now. We talked about Alex Cruz,

221
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:13,959
Speaker 3: so what he's been able to do. All of those

222
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 3: things are fine and exciting, but you need to have

223
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 3: a stamp on this game, right You can't say, hey,

224
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 3: look what Kat did last night, and I'm gonna do that,

225
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 3: but you know, we'll hang around and then all of

226
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 3: a sudden, I'll have this offensive explosion because guess what,

227
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 3: it may not come.

228
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: And you're also not a big guy that can.

229
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,959
Speaker 3: Go in and impose your will down low and and

230
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 3: force contact, work through contact and make things happen. For

231
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 3: Edwards to be this passive, it's maddening. Absolutely, you're a

232
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 3: Minnesota fan or you're a member of that staff, You're

233
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 3: you're going, what are we doing? Or you want of

234
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 3: people that wanted to anoint him as the next Michael

235
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 3: Jordan for the last twelve months shaken out of context.

236
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: I mean, look when he shoots his jumpers like Jordan does,

237
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: and he's got the he's got the sweat band up

238
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: on the sleeve, like Jordan do Dude, George, Well look

239
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 1: what Jordan doesn't do that. Jordan doesn't take two shots

240
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:07,559
Speaker 1: in the first half of a must win playoff. But

241
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 1: look look what he did on on Saturday, right that

242
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 1: the first quarter? What was it? Fifteen five and two? Yeah,

243
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: I just said, this is my game? Yeah great, and

244
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 1: this is look and it's not like it's one thing.

245
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 1: And I would not rip Aunt Edwards if his first

246
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 1: half was he had four points and he was two

247
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 1: for twelve from the floor. Take that shot. You know us,

248
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 1: You're the superstar, You're support You're trying. He's trying to

249
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: get into the game. He's trying to affect the game,

250
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: and my SHOT's not going right. This is where it

251
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 1: happens for Shay Gilders Alexander. What does he do. I'm

252
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 1: gonna get to the free throw line because it's what

253
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 1: I do, and this is how I'm going to affect

254
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 1: the game. I'm gonna slow it down for me. If

255
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 1: I'm not hitting, I'm gonna play make a little more.

256
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna continue to be the score of my teens.

257
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get to the line because that's how that's

258
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 1: how you do it when your SHOT's not falling. This

259
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 1: is Ann Edward's like, like there's there's possessions on offense

260
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:56,959
Speaker 1: where I go, Where the hell is he? Like, I'm

261
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: watching the first half going you wouldn't even know he

262
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,440
Speaker 1: was on the floor a lot I do it. He's

263
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 1: never even in geats, Like he didn't even engage to

264
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 1: try to get into the game in the first.

265
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 3: Half, last two possessions down misses a wide open three

266
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 3: and now tries to go into the lane and has

267
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 3: his money taken from him.

268
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 1: Man, I'll tell you man again, this entire series has

269
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 1: played out exactly why SGA is that superstar that comes

270
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 1: out and finds a way every It's what the best

271
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 1: superstars do. They always find a way to affect the game.

272
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 1: And and Edwards had a couple of games in a

273
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 1: series where boy really needed more, Boy really needed more,

274
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:32,960
Speaker 1: and usually those are ls and that's why you wind

275
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 1: up losing the series. Now again, they're lucky it's this

276
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 1: close because you are getting a big effort from your

277
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 1: bench and and the threes are falling for the most part.

278
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 1: But still did I mean, you gotta have this game.

279
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 1: You gotta have this game. You're coming out after beating

280
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 1: the Thunder by one hundred and fifty on Saturday, where

281
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 1: I think the game started out and it was and

282
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 1: it was twenty three nothing out of the gate, and

283
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 1: now here's a game where it's like, okay, we're doing

284
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 1: this again, right, we feel all kinds of confidence.

285
00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 2: You know.

286
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 1: The Thunder. The way they talked after game three was, hey, man,

287
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 1: this was shocking. We have to do a bunch of things.

288
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 1: We have to So you know, they're reeling looking for

289
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 1: an answer because they thought we're gonna come in and

290
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:09,319
Speaker 1: roll over Tho. It's what we've done the first two games.

291
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,839
Speaker 1: This way, you come out again, we make sure no

292
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 1: no hope for you, and we are gonna send you

293
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 1: back now. If your shots aren't falling again, that's one thing,

294
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 1: But there's one thing of trying to get in the

295
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 1: game and not doing it and then just just hanging

296
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 1: out say yeah, I'm good you guys, shoot I'm okay.

297
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 3: But again, most of that first half they shot very well.

298
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 3: I mean there was a point where it was, hey,

299
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 3: we're at sixty five percent, but we turned the ball

300
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 3: over ten times. And so you have a deficit you're

301
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 3: looking at. Williams had a huge first half four to

302
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 3: six from three point range. Thus far Sga obviously getting

303
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 3: his work done. But yeah, we're on the side of

304
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 3: the mill cart and for Anthony Edwards and what he

305
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 3: has tried to express himself and be part of the

306
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 3: action these last couple of possessions. I tasted the milk.

307
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 3: It was sour.

308
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,960
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, we could see a huge streak coming to an

309
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 1: end because my Carolina Hurricanes up to nine over the

310
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 1: Panthers shot with thirteen minutes left, they could break that

311
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:12,319
Speaker 1: fifteen game Eastern Conference Final. Losing thirteen minutes still a

312
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 1: lot of time, Still a lot of time. Yeah, but

313
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:16,160

331
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 1: Carolina could be breaking that fifteen game Eastern coverce fact

332
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 1: they took the second goal from the Hurricanes away for

333
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 1: offside coaches challenge overturns it so won nothing. Carolina lead

334
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 1: over Florida in the period. Meanwhile thundering the te Wolves.

335
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: This guy, I told you the Nicks and the Pacers

336
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 1: make no sense. This game makes no sense, and Edwards

337
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 1: has six points. Yet somehow the Tea Wolves and Thunder

338
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 1: are tied at seventy nine apiece because the Tea Wolves

339
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 1: bench is absolutely going crazy thirty.

340
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 3: Nine points off the bench thus far, including nine to

341
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 3: three point boy.

342
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 1: Uh yeah again, trying to make sense the NBA playoffs

343
00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 1: sometimes is very difficult joining us. Now I'm the hot line,

344
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 1: longtime NFL insider man, it was paying a lot of

345
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 1: close attention to this game right now. You can check

346
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 1: him out on Odyssey one oh five, seven, the Fen

347
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:13,120

349
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 4: Man?

350
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:15,800

Speaker 1: Buddy? First, I want to say sorry about the turfs today,

353
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 1: Big Run beat Syracuse. Sorry about the turfs, but uh,

354
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 1: you know, hey, big run, Big Run.

355
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 4: I saw a stat the team that plays in the

356
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 4: second semi final is four and fourteen in the last

357
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 4: eighteen national championship.

358
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 1: Well, I find knowing that I would have gone to

359
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 1: Vegas today. How about you? About you? How about swing

360
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 1: you a text on that earlier today?

361
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 4: I didn't know it. I didn't know it's collaborates. I

362
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 4: know Colasorate. No, I'm never going to forget the hell lacrosse.

363
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 4: By the way, I have I have bet college cross. Okay,

364
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 4: I won't say like I do bet college lacrosse because

365
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 4: that would imply it it's like a fairly regular thing.

366
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 4: But has it occurred more than five times in my life.

367
00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, all right, very good, four and fourteen.

368
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 4: I'm not great at it. I'm like three and two.

369
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 4: I mean I'm not. I'm not I'm not particularly good

370
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 4: at it.

371
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, at least it's legal. I didn't know if

372
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 1: betting on lacrosse is even legal.

373
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,399
Speaker 4: Oh no, I mean I don't know if it's legal everywhere,

374
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:13,399
Speaker 4: but like all the apps here because it's big, you know,

375
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 4: in Baltimore, like I can get I get lines on

376
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 4: pretty much anything, like not even just big conferences like

377
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 4: CIA and stuff.

378
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:22,560

Speaker 1: do you have?

381
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:28,679
Speaker 4: My favorite bet in this game was the over to

382
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 4: eighteen and a half. I'm also on the thunder money line.

383
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 1: All right, very nice, very nice looks so far.

384
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 4: I don't know.

385
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 1: I mean thunder money line looks. Okay, you're too eighteen,

386
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 1: I don't know, but you're your thunder money line looks

387
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:41,920
Speaker 1: all right?

388
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 4: Oh no, I would say the opposite. I would say that,

389
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 4: well anyway, I don't like talk best.

390
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 3: The Alexander Walker threeball all.

391
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 1: Right, all right, all right, so so all right, football

392
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 1: here we go. So today some reports that potentially cur

393
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:03,400
Speaker 1: Cousins is the Steelers plan B if things don't work

394
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,399
Speaker 1: out with Aaron Rodgers. Now, first things first, are things

395
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 1: really not going to work out with Aaron Rodgers? And

396
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 1: we're going to be talking about this.

397
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,440
Speaker 4: He's a weirdo, so you know, I mean, like, yeah,

398
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 4: he's sure it could go thru He's sure he could

399
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:20,399
Speaker 4: completely change his mind down the road. Sure he could

400
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 4: decide he wants to hold out for something different or

401
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:27,919
Speaker 4: I don't know, sexy or something closer to a rainforest

402
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:29,880
Speaker 4: or a jungle or something like that, you know, where

403
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,719
Speaker 4: he can get all the get all the medicine man

404
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:35,679
Speaker 4: stuff he needs. I mean, I don't know how you

405
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 4: could feel good about any sort of business arrangement with him.

406
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 4: And yeah, I mean, look the Falcons, we talked about

407
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 4: this in the past. The Falcons have to get real

408
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,919
Speaker 4: about Kirk Cousins and what they're doing. And it's salary

409
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 4: dumping out a football trade, and that owner to this

410
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 4: point has been unwilling to eat what he'd have to

411
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,119
Speaker 4: eat to get back real assets. So he's trying to

412
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 4: have his cake and eat it too. He's saying, I

413
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 4: want some money to take all this off my hands,

414
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,679
Speaker 4: and I want, you know, I want to get back what,

415
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 4: you know, what is commensurate with the contract that we

416
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 4: take Kirk Cousins and people are trying to tell him

417
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 4: that that that's dead money, that that you're not going

418
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:19,400
Speaker 4: to get that. And you know, Sam Donald didn't get

419
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 4: what he thought he was going to get, and Matt

420
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 4: Stafford didn't get what he thought he was going to get,

421
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,719
Speaker 4: and you know Field probably didn't get it was kind

422
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,360
Speaker 4: of did okay, Russ definitely didn't get what Russ thought

423
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,119
Speaker 4: he was going to get. Aaron Rodgers is not going

424
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 4: to get any close to what Aaron Rodgers got. And

425
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,919
Speaker 4: Cousins is more in that you know, sort of bin

426
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 4: of quarterbacks than he is the Purties, you know, and

427
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:42,160
Speaker 4: those guys who didn't get what they want. So it's

428
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,680
Speaker 4: an ownership deal. I mean, they could have traded him

429
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:46,680
Speaker 4: before the draft. They should have traded him before the draft.

430
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 4: But the owner won't eat salary.

431
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 1: But I gotta I gotta think, though, Jay, that as

432
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 1: time goes on and Cousins is around the team, right

433
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 1: because now we've had time, but yeah, well we t

434
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 1: time when Cousins around the team and they realize, oh,

435
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 1: this really isn't going to work. That's what's going to happen.

436
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:06,120
Speaker 1: But I think what's killing them now is that, well

437
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:07,919
Speaker 1: we're still in the off season where were you know,

438
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 1: mini camps over waiting for camp to start. But once

439
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,400
Speaker 1: that happens, it's, oh, man, where we can't we can't

440
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 1: go forward like this. This is a real big distract.

441
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:16,400
Speaker 1: This is bad for the team.

442
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 4: Well it's just silly, but I mean, it shouldn't take

443
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 4: that having to happen for them to be realist about

444
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 4: the situation, you know, Like I I I just think

445
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 4: they've look, they've been buffoon's about the quarterback position really

446
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 4: since Matt Ryan started going downhill, and now this penis

447
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,400
Speaker 4: thing might have you know, might have bailed them out.

448
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,440
Speaker 4: We could also add, you know, they didn't need Psycher

449
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 4: comes to draft pic that it was obviously a little

450
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 4: weird that owner can't get it right at quarterback. He

451
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 4: gave you know, Matt Ryan one more extension than he

452
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 4: had to, and it's been crazy since then, you know.

453
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 4: I mean, these are the same people that didn't want

454
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,360
Speaker 4: to make a phone call to Lamar Jackson because they

455
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 4: had Desert Rider that's a fact. So yeah, I don't

456
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:09,160
Speaker 4: know how to handicap that, because you know, it's when

457
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:13,920
Speaker 4: it's a billionaire who doesn't want to cut out, you know,

458
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 4: five six, seven, eight million dollars off of a contract

459
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,679
Speaker 4: to trade it. It's kind of like you're not pregnant

460
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 4: until you are. And the fact that they would need

461
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 4: to see the dysfunction in their quarterback room with their

462
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:30,879
Speaker 4: own eyes to know it exists also seems silly and

463
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:36,399
Speaker 4: myopic to me and shortsighted. But you know, look, I

464
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 4: don't think he's gonna be there week one, whether that's

465
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:41,639
Speaker 4: traded in the next two weeks to Pittsburgh, or traded

466
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 4: right on the eve of training camp, or traded when

467
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 4: somebody gets hurt somewhere in training camp. It would seem

468
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 4: kind of silly to have that dynamic with the backup

469
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 4: making twenty times more than the starter sitting on the

470
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 4: bench waiting to see if the kid fails. That just

471
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 4: doesn't seem to me a lot of sense.

472
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,160
Speaker 3: Took me a second to recover from the Desmond Ritter

473
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 3: reference there, Jason.

474
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 1: It took me.

475
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 3: It's like a punch of the face, like, yeah, I

476
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 3: remember those conversations all right now, let's let's have a

477
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 3: little bit of fun, the fun and exciting world of

478
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 3: flag football, and now the complaints of hey, we want

479
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 3: to get a real shot. Can we get a couple

480
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:22,639
Speaker 3: of open tryouts and workouts between NFL players and the

481
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,399
Speaker 3: would be professional flag footballers.

482
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,879
Speaker 4: I mean, I have so less than zero interested in this.

483
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 4: I gotta say, like, am I maybe I'm on an

484
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 4: is on here and it's just I'm getting home, you know,

485
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 4: I'm on the other side of fifty now, and I

486
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:42,399
Speaker 4: like this whole thing just seems like the biggest crock

487
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 4: of like PRBs I've ever seen in mine. Like the

488
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 4: NFL is gonna get enough publicity. Now we want to

489
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 4: get up a fake controversy to get even more time

490
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 4: spent people bloviating about us to people have used comments

491
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 4: as anymore in the old my newspaper background, I guess

492
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:01,159
Speaker 4: there's no comments just whenever on the web, which is

493
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 4: unlimited web space, like just wasted on this faux controversy, Like,

494
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 4: I mean, who the hell else in the world is

495
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:14,879
Speaker 4: playing any degree of football in any way, shape or

496
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,439
Speaker 4: form that like we would have to go out and

497
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 4: like through our superiority.

498
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 1: It's gonna look like the Dream Team the first time

499
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 1: they played in basketball in ninety two.

500
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 4: I'm gonna be in these brackets like Lebanon. Oh, we're

501
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 4: in a bracket with Lebanon, Lebanon and Grenada.

502
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:35,639
Speaker 1: Like what come on, man, hey, they could put they

503
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 1: could put us in.

504
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 4: Like sixth country with us in the Group.

505
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:42,440
Speaker 1: Of death with Canada and England. You know they could

506
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:43,879
Speaker 1: do that Australia.

507
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,640
Speaker 3: Sure, I do like the Dream Team reference, though maybe

508
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 3: we get like the Subruter film, like the Dream Team

509
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 3: getting beaten by the College All Stars right for the

510
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:54,920
Speaker 3: last thirty plus.

511
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 4: Dude, I mean, but this is really stupid, Like we

512
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,119
Speaker 4: could send a group of high school kids, like not

513
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 4: even like the best high school kids in the planet,

514
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 4: just the best seven on seven like under fifteen team

515
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 4: in the state of Texas. Like it doesn't even have

516
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 4: to be nationwide, it doesn't have to be regional. You

517
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 4: could pick one of five states instead a bunch of

518
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 4: fifteen year olds. Like what are we doing talking about

519
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:23,400
Speaker 4: NFL athletes doing this? Like it's just like like, come on,

520
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 4: why don't you give them to have a skills competition?

521
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,120
Speaker 4: Like they turned the damn pro ball into and let's

522
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 4: let's play other countries in that. Like I don't, I

523
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:34,880
Speaker 4: mean really, I don't know that. Jason, do nothing for me.

524
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,159
Speaker 1: Jason locking for our guest to Jason Smiths with Mike

525
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 1: Carbon live from the tirec dot Com Studios. I thought

526
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 1: you'd like my group of Death thing. Now that's pretty funny.

527
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 4: I mean yeah, yeah, like you how many you couldn't

528
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 4: could you even do a twelve team tournament? Like and

529
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,919
Speaker 4: even the remotely quasi serious about it, Like it's just

530
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 4: the dumbest thing I've ever heard in my life.

531
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:00,639
Speaker 1: I will let let's get back, you know, place in

532
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 1: the NFL.

533
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:07,400
Speaker 4: Competition. Well, yeah, I got an Olympics Andy Reid.

534
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 1: No, no, no, we haven't seen that enough. We just

535
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 1: keep showing that Andy Reid video over Hey, it's Andrew Reid.

536
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:18,199
Speaker 4: Yeah, you could just send that version of Andylon, that

537
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:22,200
Speaker 4: version of five of them over there. Let them take

538
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:22,920
Speaker 4: care of business.

539
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 1: We're sending five Andy Reid's five five.

540
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 4: Year old, like nineteen seventy eight. Yes, let's ai that

541
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 4: up and then let them take care.

542
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:37,680
Speaker 3: That's the spin off of Mickey seventeen. It's not Pattinson anymore.

543
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 3: It's Andrew Reid.

544
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 1: All right, so I didn't know how much I would

545
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 1: enjoy this, but I am enjoying it very much because

546
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:48,680
Speaker 1: this is the earliest quarterback derby that I could ever

547
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 1: remember paying attention to with everything going on in Cleveland

548
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 1: and the way that Stefanski says, well, it's going to

549
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:55,879
Speaker 1: be Flacco and pick It are going to compete, and

550
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 1: it's gonna be Sanders and Gabriel gonna compete in and

551
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:01,879
Speaker 1: every day it's here what Sanders does in seven on seven?

552
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,159
Speaker 1: Like I didn't know how to feel about it, but

553
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:06,439
Speaker 1: I can't get enough of it, man, because we have

554
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 1: a quarterback derby going on and it's May and that's fantastic.

555
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's gonna be a different level of scrutiny

556
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,360
Speaker 4: now and I and look there is there's They don't

557
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 4: get to have these guys on the field unlimited time,

558
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 4: Like we all know two a days got done away

559
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:22,199
Speaker 4: with a long time ago, and a lot of these

560
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:25,640
Speaker 4: drills like they're special teams and there's special situations that's

561
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 4: only going to really involve the starter. So like the

562
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 4: three other quarterbacks, like there's not that much work to

563
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:36,359
Speaker 4: go around, Like you have time constraints, you have things

564
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 4: you're trying to accomplish certain sessions and more geared towards

565
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:41,880
Speaker 4: the defense, and they're gonna want to be tested by

566
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:44,119
Speaker 4: the ones like that. There's a lot that goes in today,

567
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,920
Speaker 4: so you know, there's only so many snaps, there's only

568
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:48,880
Speaker 4: so many reps, there's only so many hours in a day,

569
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:50,399
Speaker 4: and there's only so long you can keep them on

570
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:55,160
Speaker 4: the field. So yeah, everything will be obsessed about and

571
00:26:55,240 --> 00:27:01,880
Speaker 4: everything will be picked apart and dissected, and yeah, it's

572
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 4: kind of interesting. So I mean, I don't know any

573
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:08,160
Speaker 4: of them are any good, but I like, I don't

574
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 4: know that i'd want to go to war with any

575
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 4: of them. Like Placco to win like one playoff game

576
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:16,880
Speaker 4: and he's totally rested and comes in off his couch. Yeah,

577
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:19,399
Speaker 4: like Flacco for week one to try to help me

578
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 4: navigate an eighteen week gauntlet.

579
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 3: Super Bowl champion Joe Placco, as you were calling, hey,

580
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,879
Speaker 3: Orioles winners of three straight. Uh, you know, folks starting

581
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 3: to get excitable or is it still sky's falling?

582
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:36,160
Speaker 4: Dude? Do you know how the standings work?

583
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,640
Speaker 3: I'm a white Sox guy, so yeah, I'm very very

584
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 3: well well versed in that.

585
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, I it's over. They need to sell people

586
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 4: and get real about the future and fire the GM

00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:30,719
Speaker 1: playoff game. Still gonna stay home on the road, not

773
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:32,839
Speaker 1: gonna get to sit on the sideline where he can

774
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 1: actually walk on the court and be a nuisance, but

775
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 1: he's gonna actually get to be in a suite to

776
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 1: watch the Pacers Game four against the Knicks. You know Halliburton,

777
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:44,839
Speaker 1: who was the Pacers band after they eliminated the Milwaukee Bucks.

778
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:47,399
Speaker 1: Haliburton goes out stands in front of Yanni's trolls him

779
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 1: with a towel. Really bad luck, and so the pacaid, okay,

780
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:53,959
Speaker 1: we're gonna ban you. But I don't think there's any

781
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:58,600
Speaker 1: coincidence that the ban is lifted right after they lose

782
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:01,200
Speaker 1: Game three and they blow it twenty point lead. They're

783
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:04,040
Speaker 1: running scared. Now, the Pacers are scared. What can we

784
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:06,960
Speaker 1: do to flip the momentum. Hey, let's bring Halliburton's dad back.

785
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 1: That might get Tyrese Halliburton back in a great frame

786
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:11,800
Speaker 1: of mind, get him back to being the unbeatable to

787
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:14,719
Speaker 1: Halliburton like he was the first two games in the series. Boy,

788
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:17,359
Speaker 1: you talk about losing one game. What can we use?

789
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:19,839
Speaker 1: What's the trump card we have that we could play

790
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:22,239
Speaker 1: right now? It'll help us forget Oh, this will give

791
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:26,359
Speaker 1: us an emotional lift. Let's unban Tyrese Halliburton's dad. Pay,

792
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:27,959
Speaker 1: I see if I see this today and the Knicks

793
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:31,279
Speaker 1: I go. They're scared. They're looking for some Everything was great,

794
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 1: all kinds of confidence, laughing choke jesters. Oh, now they're

795
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:36,680
Speaker 1: scared because I again, they could have done this for

796
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:38,719
Speaker 1: game three. Why didn't you do it for game three?

797
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:38,920
Speaker 4: Right?

798
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:39,920
Speaker 1: Why didn't do it for game three?

799
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:40,160
Speaker 4: Oh?

800
00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:42,480
Speaker 1: We lost and we need that, We need that little

801
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:45,480
Speaker 1: bit of edge. So let's bring Halliburton's dad, Becket. I'm

802
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 1: the Nicks. I'm saying the Pacers are panicking after losing

803
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:49,440
Speaker 1: one game at home.

804
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:51,839
Speaker 3: It's well, you try to find motivation from wherever you can.

805
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 3: If you're the Pacers, you're hoping for that emotional lift.

806
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:58,760
Speaker 3: You're at home, get some extra juice. Uh, And obviously

807
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:01,840
Speaker 3: you've had a lot of celebrity's run to his aid

808
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:04,480
Speaker 3: and call for him to be reinstended. Now he'll be

809
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:07,800
Speaker 3: in a glass case of emotion up there in the booth,

810
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:10,719
Speaker 3: So it's not like he's he's out court side and

811
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 3: can really create chaos unless they put him in the

812
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:15,920
Speaker 3: mascot outfit and all of a sudden, there he is

813
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:19,320
Speaker 3: at center card ah back. Otherwise, I man, that's a

814
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 3: temporary thing. But yeah, if you're the Knicks right now,

815
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 3: you're looking for every bit of counter that you can.

816
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:30,320
Speaker 3: So yeah, that's bulletin board material. Hey they're running scared,

817
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:33,600
Speaker 3: we got this back. How much that actually matters versus

818
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:37,919
Speaker 3: getting quality minutes again from Landry Shammitt and the like. Eh,

819
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 3: you decide what the weight is on that. I'll give

820
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 3: bulletin board one percent, because again they're professionals. But for

821
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:50,239
Speaker 3: the pacers, if they think this is gonna inject some

822
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:53,799
Speaker 3: kind of energy to the crowd or make Halliburton feel

823
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:58,080
Speaker 3: better about his life, both junior and senior, then have

824
00:38:58,239 --> 00:38:59,920
Speaker 3: at it. I always said he should have been a

825
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:03,439
Speaker 3: booth anyway away from everybody, and don't make it an.

826
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:06,319
Speaker 1: Issue because I have one idea that might be even better.

827
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:08,319
Speaker 1: Because I love your idea, but I got one idea

828
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:11,440
Speaker 1: that would be better. I'm afraid to even ask. Nah

829
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:15,880
Speaker 1: you sent Haliburton next to shallow May and it's Shalamay

830
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:18,360
Speaker 1: and John Halliburt, shallow May, Shallow May. Why is this?

831
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:20,640
Speaker 1: Why is this guy getting shadow May, Shadow May and

832
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:23,920
Speaker 1: Haliburton Shadow May, shout him May Shadow May? And in

833
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:26,280
Speaker 1: is he sandwich between him and Spike?

834
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:26,759
Speaker 4: Uh?

835
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:28,879
Speaker 1: Well, Spike, I had to get back from from can

836
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:30,719
Speaker 1: and all this stuff. No, no, you put him next

837
00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 1: to shallow May. This this is this is right now?

838
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:37,480
Speaker 3: Uh No, shallow May is better. Shows go go right

839
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:39,960
Speaker 3: to Hanson, Tracy Morgan. I mean we could go on forever.

840
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:41,279
Speaker 1: Well then, and then you can have one of those

841
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:43,799
Speaker 1: cool nicknames like when you know, like Bennifer or whatever,

842
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:49,640
Speaker 1: and it would be you know, Shalliburton, Shallibert, shalliber Calibert

843
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:53,360
Speaker 1: and Shalla Halliburton, Shalla Maliburton, Shalla Mala Haliburt.

844
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:55,360
Speaker 3: Well, you get him very close to Shallamar. That'd be

845
00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 3: kind of.

846
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:59,839
Speaker 1: Shod dancing in the sheets, dancing. Why are you trying

847
00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:02,719
Speaker 1: to Shalliburton maybe can sit next to each other. They

848
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:07,759
Speaker 1: call it shallibur Patten Penin, sit in jail shadow Hey

849
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:09,200
Speaker 1: shatam hey, shatam hey.

850
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:09,799
Speaker 2: Uh.

851
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:11,960
Speaker 1: We get back into basketball, coming up next to nine

852
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:16,400
Speaker 1: point lead for the Thunder plus a huge devastating injury

853
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:19,080
Speaker 1: in basketball that has rocked the world earlier today, We

854
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:21,239
Speaker 1: get into that next right here, Jason and Mike, this

855
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:26,719
Speaker 1: is Fox Sports Radio, hashtag Shalliburton and Williams who is

856
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:30,520
Speaker 1: sitting around going Okay, I'm standing howdy out here, I

857
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:32,560
Speaker 1: gotta take a shot, and he hits a three and

858
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:35,960
Speaker 1: that pushes the lead back out to seven. One of

859
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:37,879
Speaker 1: those demoralizing possessions.

860
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:38,480
Speaker 4: Uh.

861
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:40,920
Speaker 1: Defensively, you know you saw it, You saw it unfolding.

862
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:44,520
Speaker 1: As soon as that happened, you said, that's gotta kill them,

863
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:45,960
Speaker 1: that's gotta kill them.

864
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:48,360
Speaker 3: But like that had several sequences in a row, the

865
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:51,959
Speaker 3: Timberwolves where they're playing great defense, shot clock winding down

866
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:55,920
Speaker 3: and then the ball gets knocked away and tapped to

867
00:40:56,000 --> 00:41:00,360
Speaker 3: a teammate. You had one earlier, chet fighting up towards

868
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:04,160
Speaker 3: the just pass the free throw line, has it knocked away,

869
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 3: has presence of nine to just slap it back towards

870
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:11,080
Speaker 3: the baseline where he's got a teammate waiting for an

871
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:13,320
Speaker 3: easy layup, like it's just been a couple of sequences

872
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:16,040
Speaker 3: like wow, that is the worst because you committed to

873
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:19,120
Speaker 3: playing team defense, You're getting the ball out of the

874
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:23,480
Speaker 3: playmaker's hands and it's just finding the right Hotthand I

875
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:25,680
Speaker 3: mean Jalen Williams on the night thirteen to twenty four,

876
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:28,520
Speaker 3: he's up to thirty four points, six of nine from

877
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:33,040
Speaker 3: three point range. You got Gilgess, Alexander thirty five points,

878
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:35,759
Speaker 3: only eight free throws in the game, So the free

879
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:39,239
Speaker 3: throw merchant chants and everything that are certainly alive and

880
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:44,080
Speaker 3: well but not existing here. But just great balance from

881
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 3: the rest of the Timberwolves to be keeping a game

882
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:51,400
Speaker 3: because both Anthony Edwards and Julius Randall have some explaining

883
00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:51,600
Speaker 3: to do.

884
00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:55,560
Speaker 1: Right now, it's a five point lead for the Thunder.

885
00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:57,719
Speaker 1: It looked like it was gonna get cut to two,

886
00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:03,440
Speaker 1: but Chet Holmgren McDaniels goes in for the spinning lefty

887
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:07,640
Speaker 1: layup and he pins it to the backboard. Oklahoma City

888
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:10,600
Speaker 1: comes out with the basketball. They have it now with

889
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:14,279
Speaker 1: thirty five seconds left to go, a five point lead

890
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:18,319
Speaker 1: that could have been disastrous for Oklahoma City. But check

891
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:21,880
Speaker 1: with an absolutely huge your guy, he'll be the one arm,

892
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:24,320
Speaker 1: he'd be the one armed. He'll be the one name Supers.

893
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:26,719
Speaker 1: There was a man in my house. He had one arm.

894
00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:29,160
Speaker 1: He'll be a one named superstar pretty soon. He'll just

895
00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:32,200
Speaker 1: be chet twenty one to seven for him. And that

896
00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:36,280
Speaker 1: was his third block of the game. Another big effort

897
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:39,680
Speaker 1: from home. Grin, you got a big three working for OKC.

898
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:42,840
Speaker 1: So time out on the floor. Right now it is

899
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:46,680
Speaker 1: Oklahoma City leading Minnesota now one twenty three to one

900
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:52,040
Speaker 1: twenty one. After Anthony Edwards misses a three, the rebound

901
00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:55,120
Speaker 1: is picked up, a three is hit by Minnesota to

902
00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:58,680
Speaker 1: make it a two point game. So make it one

903
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:03,399
Speaker 1: twenty three to one twenty one. However, now Sga at

904
00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:06,200
Speaker 1: the free throw line because Minnesota had to foul, let

905
00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:08,560
Speaker 1: a few more seconds tick off the clock. You expect

906
00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:11,600
Speaker 1: him to shake Gilders Alexander the free throw line. He

907
00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:14,080
Speaker 1: is seven for eight for the game. He has a

908
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:17,160
Speaker 1: chance to potentially put this away making two, but still

909
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:20,719
Speaker 1: in a very subpar game for ann Edwards, Minnesota still

910
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:22,560
Speaker 1: has a chance here. With fourteen seconds left.

911
00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:24,640
Speaker 3: Jade McDaniels hit that three. He's up to twenty two

912
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:26,840
Speaker 3: on the night, three of six from three point range.

913
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:30,560
Speaker 3: You've gotten great contributions off the bench. You'll look at

914
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:35,880
Speaker 3: a total of sixty two points coming off the bench

915
00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:40,440
Speaker 3: from Minnesota in this game. Stevencenzo with twenty one, Alexander

916
00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:43,799
Speaker 3: Walker with twenty three. The two of them combined ten

917
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:45,840
Speaker 3: of sixteen from three point range.

918
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:50,120
Speaker 1: So here we go again, fourteen seconds left. SGA makes

919
00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:54,080
Speaker 1: both free throws, so it's a four point lead. Minnesota

920
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:58,279
Speaker 1: timeout with fourteen seconds left to go again. Now time

921
00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:02,480
Speaker 1: getting a little short, and you see SGA is arguing

922
00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:04,319
Speaker 1: with the official about something. I mean, I know why

923
00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:05,919
Speaker 1: they send you the free throw line all the time.

924
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:07,760
Speaker 1: I would, I would be very nice for the officials,

925
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:08,920
Speaker 1: but this is kind of where we sit.

926
00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:11,560
Speaker 3: Well, that's it. Julius Randall, though one of seven from

927
00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:14,560
Speaker 3: the field, zero for three from three point range, he

928
00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:16,520
Speaker 3: has hit three of his four free throws, so he

929
00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:19,920
Speaker 3: got that going for you. But five points, four turnovers,

930
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:23,879
Speaker 3: and a big minus three A non factor offensively much

931
00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:27,719
Speaker 3: of the night. Anthony Edwards, as we talked about last hour,

932
00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:31,960
Speaker 3: went into halftime with four points. Thanks a lot of

933
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:36,600
Speaker 3: standing around. This puts you into the Hey, the Hall

934
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:40,680
Speaker 3: of very Good among current players. Right of what am

935
00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:43,080
Speaker 3: I expecting from you game to game? That's not a

936
00:44:43,160 --> 00:44:43,880
Speaker 3: good place to be.

937
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:46,279
Speaker 1: Commercial break now, so we'll get back to this game

938
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:48,479
Speaker 1: coming up in Definitis again. It's gonna be a little

939
00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:51,120
Speaker 1: bit to the end. It's probably some free throws going

940
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:53,960
Speaker 1: on one eighteen one four or sorry, one twenty five

941
00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:58,319
Speaker 1: one with fourteen seconds left to go. Meanwhile, the other

942
00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:01,440
Speaker 1: big story out of basket ball today, Caitlyn Clark is

943
00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:04,040
Speaker 1: hurt and she's gonna miss the next two weeks with

944
00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:07,000
Speaker 1: a quad strain that she suffered in the game against

945
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:10,279
Speaker 1: the Liberty on Saturday. And and you know, two big

946
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:14,480
Speaker 1: takes on this. The first one is that nothing should

947
00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:17,279
Speaker 1: tell you that she's the biggest star in sports right

948
00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:20,400
Speaker 1: now more than the reaction when this story first broke today.

949
00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:22,880
Speaker 1: When when this first broke and it's on social media, well,

950
00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:24,640
Speaker 1: because nobody knew she was hurt, she finished the game,

951
00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:26,480
Speaker 1: she was upset about not getting a foul call at

952
00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:30,080
Speaker 1: the end, and it's like, okay, it's like whoa. People

953
00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:33,960
Speaker 1: devastated for Caitlyn Clark, devastated for the league, devastated Kitlyn

954
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:36,600
Speaker 1: Clark as well. This is a two week quad injury, right,

955
00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:39,279
Speaker 1: this is not where hey, hey, she's done for the seat,

956
00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:41,080
Speaker 1: Like you know what reminded me of It reminded me

957
00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:43,480
Speaker 1: when Brady got hurt and he got knocked out for

958
00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:46,320
Speaker 1: the year, when he had the when he had the

959
00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:50,800
Speaker 1: acl tair back in twenty eleven. Right, I want to

960
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:52,360
Speaker 1: say in two thousand and eight, it might have been

961
00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:54,680
Speaker 1: when Matt Castle had to come in he got when

962
00:45:54,719 --> 00:45:57,360
Speaker 1: he got hit in like week two, right, somebody And

963
00:45:57,560 --> 00:46:01,920
Speaker 1: I can't who it was. Yeah, oh man, I remember what.

964
00:46:02,040 --> 00:46:04,960
Speaker 1: Oh no, it was hang on, you said, Jeff. He

965
00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:07,560
Speaker 1: was holding on to to Tom Brady. It was so

966
00:46:07,640 --> 00:46:09,160
Speaker 1: whoever it was was somebody that did it a couple

967
00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:12,080
Speaker 1: of times hurt, a couple of different quarterbacks that came

968
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:14,560
Speaker 1: in low and injured. And Brady's out for the year

969
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:19,680
Speaker 1: in like week two, and you're like, sorry the Chiefs, Yes,

970
00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:23,240
Speaker 1: Bernard Paul. So he gets hit and he gets knocked

971
00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:25,360
Speaker 1: out for the season. It's whoa Brady is. This is

972
00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:27,560
Speaker 1: the middle of Brady's run. Is the best quarterback on

973
00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:29,200
Speaker 1: the planet. And the shock and oh my god, we're

974
00:46:29,239 --> 00:46:31,799
Speaker 1: losing him. It's the whole season Brady is out, Matt

975
00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:34,239
Speaker 1: Castle comes in. It was actually the last time a

976
00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:36,320
Speaker 1: team won as many games they did in the regular

977
00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:37,879
Speaker 1: season didn't make the play I think they won eleven

978
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:40,160
Speaker 1: game that didn't make the playoffs. But that was the

979
00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:43,280
Speaker 1: reaction for Kaitlyn Clark today. What's gonna happen? What games

980
00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:45,840
Speaker 1: is she missing? Like, we don't do this if Lebron

981
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:47,879
Speaker 1: is out, we don't do this when Giannis is out.

982
00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:50,840
Speaker 1: There's when Brunson or any other big stars out. We

983
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:53,120
Speaker 1: don't do it in the NFL when guys. But suddenly

984
00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:56,360
Speaker 1: it's whoa Caitlyn Clark? If anything, that should tell you

985
00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:59,560
Speaker 1: how that she's the biggest star in sports right now,

986
00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:01,640
Speaker 1: not the big star in the WNBA, not the biggest

987
00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:05,399
Speaker 1: star in basketball. The reaction to her injury should tell

988
00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:08,320
Speaker 1: you everything. We can talk about TV ratings and what

989
00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:10,719
Speaker 1: her games are doing compared to NBA playoff game. We

990
00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:12,439
Speaker 1: could do that till till you're blue in the face,

991
00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:15,319
Speaker 1: and Kaitlyn Clark is always gonna win. But you want

992
00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:17,400
Speaker 1: to see just the reaction on the on the street

993
00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:20,440
Speaker 1: of what people think when this story broke today. That

994
00:47:20,719 --> 00:47:23,040
Speaker 1: was what I saw all over social media. The reaction

995
00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:23,680
Speaker 1: for Kaitlyn Clark.

996
00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:25,680
Speaker 3: We had all the estimates of what she means to

997
00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:28,319
Speaker 3: the league, and start going down all of those path

998
00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:31,920
Speaker 3: Sports Business Journal and all the Supruter film of what

999
00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:34,160
Speaker 3: play did she get hurt on? There she is at

1000
00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:36,680
Speaker 3: a time out and it looks like she's got you know,

1001
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:41,359
Speaker 3: a heating pad an apparatus fixed to her leg, going

1002
00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:44,680
Speaker 3: back to the quad injury she had in the preseason.

1003
00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:46,520
Speaker 1: Say no, no, no, not related other leg.

1004
00:47:46,680 --> 00:47:49,759
Speaker 3: You know, really as much of a deep dive as

1005
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:53,080
Speaker 3: you're gonna get, but certainly a lot of people gripping going.

1006
00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:57,200
Speaker 3: It's only two weeks, right, right, Please only be two weeks.

1007
00:47:57,920 --> 00:48:00,680
Speaker 3: When you talk about the number of nationally tell games

1008
00:48:00,719 --> 00:48:03,920
Speaker 3: that you've had with the fever, the number of arenas

1009
00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:06,400
Speaker 3: that have been sold out, right, talk about it with

1010
00:48:06,480 --> 00:48:09,640
Speaker 3: the Atlanta Dream and some of these other games where

1011
00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:13,399
Speaker 3: you're getting massive gait. Now those tickets are sold, those

1012
00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:16,560
Speaker 3: aren't going away, and you've got other stars to sell.

1013
00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:18,880
Speaker 3: But let's call it what it is, what stirs the

1014
00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:21,920
Speaker 3: drink for this league. And you know, when we talk

1015
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:26,240
Speaker 3: about the pantheon of women athletes right now, she's sitting alone,

1016
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:28,960
Speaker 3: right even with all the individual sports and greatness that

1017
00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:33,160
Speaker 3: we see across Olympic sports, across tennis and whatever else.

1018
00:48:33,239 --> 00:48:36,719
Speaker 3: Caitlyn Clark rules it all. So any injury that takes

1019
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:41,000
Speaker 3: her off of the playing field for any length of time,

1020
00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:45,800
Speaker 3: it doesn't necessarily mean that that magnifying glass goes and

1021
00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:49,280
Speaker 3: finds another star. Plenty of great athletes and stars across

1022
00:48:49,320 --> 00:48:52,279
Speaker 3: the WNBA, oh yeah, make no mistake, absolutely, but they're

1023
00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:54,160
Speaker 3: not the same. Come on, Angel Reese is gonna put

1024
00:48:54,160 --> 00:48:57,080
Speaker 3: the league on her backs. Look, man, I saw the

1025
00:48:57,200 --> 00:48:59,560
Speaker 3: graphics someone put on on social media. I want to

1026
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:02,400
Speaker 3: give for its off to rediscover it. But it was

1027
00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:05,480
Speaker 3: shooting percentage for Angel Reese is thirty five and change,

1028
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:08,359
Speaker 3: and it said trying to make her shots. And then

1029
00:49:08,400 --> 00:49:12,600
Speaker 3: it had Jontay Porter, who was suspended forever for fixing games,

1030
00:49:12,640 --> 00:49:14,480
Speaker 3: and he had a higher field goal percentage.

1031
00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:19,120
Speaker 1: If you really want to have a conversation about Caitlyn

1032
00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:22,240
Speaker 1: Clark and best players in the game making, Caitlin Clark

1033
00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:24,880
Speaker 1: and Asia Wilson, Right, there's Kate, Caitlyn Clark and Angel

1034
00:49:25,160 --> 00:49:27,160
Speaker 1: We told you a year ago, and everybody else needs

1035
00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:29,480
Speaker 1: to be jumping on this now. Angel Reese is Dennis

1036
00:49:29,520 --> 00:49:32,080
Speaker 1: Rodman right, she's Dennis Robin. She's a rebounder, and she's

1037
00:49:32,120 --> 00:49:34,320
Speaker 1: a big star, and she's a star off the floor,

1038
00:49:34,760 --> 00:49:37,040
Speaker 1: and she's someone that has a lot of fame. She's

1039
00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:39,080
Speaker 1: not nearly the player. Caitlyn Clark is right, if you

1040
00:49:39,120 --> 00:49:41,520
Speaker 1: want to have that conversation, that's really where it is.

1041
00:49:41,680 --> 00:49:43,880
Speaker 1: But congrats everybody else. It's coming around to this a

1042
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:45,879
Speaker 1: year before we did. Natalie took it a year.

1043
00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:46,800
Speaker 3: I mean, what are you gonna do.

1044
00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:48,680
Speaker 1: The other thing I will tell you is this is

1045
00:49:48,760 --> 00:49:52,279
Speaker 1: that by game I thought it would be earlier, but

1046
00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:56,839
Speaker 1: by game thirty ish in the W, the Fever will

1047
00:49:56,880 --> 00:50:00,319
Speaker 1: be generally considered the best team in the W. Right now,

1048
00:50:00,440 --> 00:50:03,279
Speaker 1: they may not have the best record, but they made

1049
00:50:03,320 --> 00:50:05,520
Speaker 1: a lot of changes to their team. They only brought

1050
00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:07,319
Speaker 1: back five players, right, you have some players they are

1051
00:50:07,320 --> 00:50:09,320
Speaker 1: still trying to figure out their way in.

1052
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:09,520
Speaker 4: Right.

1053
00:50:09,520 --> 00:50:11,480
Speaker 1: You still kind of got to Euston, Natasha Howard and

1054
00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:13,600
Speaker 1: Dwanna Bonner. You have a lot of moving parts.

1055
00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:13,799
Speaker 4: Right.

1056
00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:17,160
Speaker 1: And so you saw them play this game Saturday. They

1057
00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:19,720
Speaker 1: should have run away from the liberty, but the liberty

1058
00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:22,200
Speaker 1: of the champs, and they knew how to close a game.

1059
00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:24,800
Speaker 1: And clearly the Fever are still trying to figure that

1060
00:50:24,840 --> 00:50:27,520
Speaker 1: out with their new players, their new situation. I'm not saying, Look,

1061
00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:29,960
Speaker 1: they lost the game. You can't complain about fouls at

1062
00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:31,560
Speaker 1: the end. Not a foul on Kaitlyn Clark on the

1063
00:50:31,600 --> 00:50:33,839
Speaker 1: final play was a steal. The ball was taken, legit.

1064
00:50:33,960 --> 00:50:36,120
Speaker 1: You can't see her playing out Yep, it was, but

1065
00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:39,040
Speaker 1: you could tell, Hey, these are the champs and this

1066
00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:41,399
Speaker 1: early in the season, the Fever were running them out

1067
00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:44,160
Speaker 1: of the building. But again, because you're the champs, you

1068
00:50:44,320 --> 00:50:45,759
Speaker 1: know how to come back in this game. You know

1069
00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:47,440
Speaker 1: how to lock down of what they needed to do,

1070
00:50:47,760 --> 00:50:50,239
Speaker 1: and the Fever are still figuring it out. But once

1071
00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:52,360
Speaker 1: they do, and how Kitlyn Clark will probably miss the

1072
00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:55,960
Speaker 1: next five ish games, So give them another fifteen or

1073
00:50:56,000 --> 00:50:58,880
Speaker 1: so games, get into the the last third of the season,

1074
00:50:59,239 --> 00:51:02,040
Speaker 1: and the Fever be considered the best team in the WNBA.

1075
00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:05,000
Speaker 1: They added so much talent. It's another year of dominance

1076
00:51:05,040 --> 00:51:06,759
